Entertaining Children

  Chapter 418 Street Artist

   "Boss, are we over here? Should I take Shaw away?" Tim Haggis looked like it was finished, and asked Alan Hall for instructions.

"Wait," Alan Hal took out a piece of paper from the file and handed it to Tim Haggis. "This is the appearance of the escaped female robber. Take a look and remember what she looked like. When protecting Xiao, pay attention to this looking woman."

   "Okay, I will." Tim Haggis reached out and took it.

   "The appearance of the female robber was spelled out so quickly?" Hearing that it was the appearance of the female robber, Danny on one side also curiously moved to Tim's side and looked at it.

"They look pretty." Danny commented, and then he was a little surprised. "But why are sketch portraits? Didn't our bureau switch to computer software to spell out the appearance of the suspect ten years ago? Did Henry’s computer fail? I didn’t expect Henry to have this hand, so old-school technology."

  Henry in Danny's mouth was a technician in the branch, who was responsible for spelling out the appearance of the suspect based on the description of the witnesses, so Danny's first reaction was that Henry's handwriting.

   "This was not painted by Henry, it was him." Alan Hal pointed to Xiao Yao and said, "He also wrote the label next to it."

   "Our eyewitness can really do anything!" Tim Haggis silently looked at the young Chinese man he was about to protect.

   "What do you mean?" Danny asked Tim Haggis curiously, "Did something happen that I don't know?"

  "Fuck me!" At this time, Xiao Yao, who was squatting on the ground, let out an angry cry.

   "What happened?" The three agents and Morton's mother and daughter were attracted by Xiao Yao's cry and looked over.

  It turned out that Xiao Yao saw Tim Haggis looking at the portrait of the suspect, knowing that it would take a while, so he set his sights on his luggage. When he saw the guitar case leaning against the wall, another worry came to Xiao Yao's heart. So Xiao Yao put the guitar case on the ground, squatted down and opened the guitar case to check his guitar. Unexpectedly, as soon as the guitar case was opened, the guitar inside was already destroyed. Not to mention the crack of the speaker panel, the neck part was directly broken, and the head of the guitar was only connected by a few guitar strings and the speaker part. together.

  The three agents and Morton’s mother and daughter were all taken aback when they saw the miserable condition of the guitar.

Danny immediately raised his hands and said: "I promise, this was not my job. From when I helped you remove your luggage from the conveyor belt until you entered the lounge, I promise you didn't fall in the middle, or even bumped. The two suitcases are in the trunk of the car. I put the guitar case on the back seat of the car. I haven't fallen off on the road. It's impossible for this to happen."

   "I believe you," Xiao Yao raised his head and glanced at Danny who was slightly nervous, "I think I know who did it."

"Yes," Sana Morton said, "When we boarded the plane in London, we found that the baggage clerk was brutally operating. When carrying the checked luggage of the passengers, they were thrown directly. Yang's guitar must have been dropped at that time bad."

  Listening to Sana Morton’s words, Danny immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Alan Hal looked at the destroyed guitar and said to Xiao Yao: "It turns out that's what happened. We can't help you with this kind of civil destruction. You can only complain to the airport or the airline and negotiate. It's settled. If necessary, I can recommend a lawyer. But IMHO, it is difficult for ordinary people to win a lawsuit against giant corporations such as airlines and airports."

"No, thank you for your kindness." Xiao Yao nodded to Alan Hal and thanked him, "This is my own business, I can solve it by myself." Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and gave his guitar "corpse". I took a picture and closed the piano case again.

   "Can we go now?" Xiao Yao stood up and said.

   "Okay." Alan Hal nodded, retracted the sketch portrait of the suspect in Tim Haggis's hand, waved to Xiao Yao and made a please gesture.

   "Xiao, take my car." After exiting the branch gate, Tim Haggis suggested to Xiao Yao while waiting for the elevator.

   "Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, looked at Morton mother and daughter, and asked Tim Haggis, "Could you please send Sana and Katie home first."

   "Of course, as long as you go with me, it’s okay." Tim Haggis nodded.

   "Don't bother Mr. Agent, we'll just take a taxi and go back." Sana Morton said.

   "It's okay, I'll take you off, safer." Tim Haggis shook his head.

   "Okay, thank you then." Sana Morton did not insist. After all, after experiencing tonight, having a police officer escorted home will still make people feel more at ease.

  The four of them took the elevator directly to the underground parking lot, and got into Tim Haggis' car together. Tim asked the address of Morton's house and drove off.

"Mrs. Morton, can you ask me?" Tim Haggis glanced at Sana Morton in the back seat through the rearview mirror on the way, and asked curiously, "What happened tonight, why? Didn't you see your husband?"

  "My husband is not at home." Sana said, "He was sent by the company to work in China for a period of time because of work needs. In fact, we have just visited him in China, and we just came back from China today."

   "That's it," Tim Haggis nodded and stopped talking.

"Considering that their mother and daughter are alone at home, do you also need to take certain protective measures for their mother and daughter." Xiao Yao suddenly said to Tim Haggis, "They were also picked by the band of robbers at the time. hostage."

"I don't think it is necessary." Tim Haggis shook his head, "I also learned about the interception incident you experienced just now. The passengers broke the news on the Internet saying that it was you alone. They The two did nothing. In theory, they won’t be retaliated against by the female robbers who escaped. The community where Morton’s house is located is very safe, and it should be relatively safe."

Seeing Xiao Yao still frowning, Tim continued: "But since you mentioned it, I will greet the NYPD and ask their patrol officers to pay attention to the situation near Mrs. Morton's home. They are also involved in the incident tonight. Participants, knowing what happened, should not refuse this request."

   "Okay, thank you." Xiao Yao nodded, "Also, my English name is Yang, you can call me Yang directly." Xiao Yao obviously has a lot of affection for Tim.

   "No, I should say thank you." Sana in the back seat said.

  It was very late to send Morton’s mother and daughter home, so Sana didn’t hold Xiao Yao much, only exchanged phone numbers with him, and watched Tim take Xiao Yao away.

"Xiao, you're from China, don't you have a place to live?" Tim Haggis asked Xiao Yao again when he drove away from Morton's house, "If you don't mind, you can live in my house. Of course. , If you feel uncomfortable, I can also accompany you to stay in the hotel. You can choose the specific hotel as long as it is not too dangerous in the community. But you have to go home with me first, let me simply pack my luggage ."

  "Let’s stay in a hotel." Xiao Yao said, "Actually, I had booked a hotel before I came to the United States. I just don’t know if they have reserved a room for me after so long."

   "It's okay. If you don't have any, you will rebook. It's not the peak tourist season. The hotel has no shortage of rooms." Tim smiled and drove Xiao Yao to his home.

  After simply packing up a few changes of clothes, Tim took Xiao Yao to the hotel where he had booked the room. The Fei Lai Hotel Xiao Yao booked was not in the center of New York, but in a slightly remote location on the fringe of the city. But because there are several well-known art academies, it is a famous art and culture district in New York, and the surrounding environment is very good, so Tim has no opinion on Xiao Yao's staying in this hotel.

  When he came to the hotel to check in, the room Xiao Yao had booked was still there, but after Tim found out that Xiao Yao had booked an ordinary single room, he changed the room to a suite. The single room is relatively small and has only one bed, which is not conducive to Tim's protection work. Tim does not want to live next door to Xiao Yao. Of course, Tim didn't mean to sleep with Xiao Yao. The suite had two bedrooms and a living room, sharing the same door. For Tim, this level was enough.

The price of the    suite is naturally different from the single room, but because Tim said that the protection task is an official task assigned by the sub-bureau, the accommodation will be borne by the bureau without Xiao Yao’s expense, so Xiao Yao readily accepted it.

  Having been busy all night, Tim said that the proposal to invite Xiao Yao to dinner was naturally unfulfilled. After the two checked in, Tim asked the hotel to deliver some food to the room directly through room service. After a simple meal with Xiao Yao, Tim was ready to go to bed.

  However, because of the jet lag and the time spent sleeping on the plane, Xiao Yao has no sleep at all. Xiao Yao brought the guitar from China to the United States, but it was useful. Now the guitar is destroyed. In addition to sending a complaint letter to the airline, Xiao Yao has to solve the guitar problem. So, after simply eating something, Xiao Yao kept asking Tim about where there is an all-night musical instrument store nearby, and he was going to buy a guitar. However, Tim, who is not very familiar with this area, didn't know much. In the end, Xiao Yao called and asked the front desk of the hotel, and then he asked for the address of an all-night musical instrument store.

  Although Tim, who was already a little tired, was reluctant to go out, but because he said he would not restrict Xiao Yao's actions, Tim had no choice but to follow Xiao Yao out to buy a guitar. Fortunately, the musical instrument shop is not too far away from the hotel, and they didn't spend much time buying guitars.

   After buying the guitar, Xiao Yao didn’t ask for anything. He got into his bedroom and fiddled with the newly bought guitar. Tim can finally rest.

  Because of the task of protecting the parties involved, Tim did not dare to sleep too much, and woke up early the next day. When he finished washing and went out of the bedroom to the living room, he found that Xiao Yao got up earlier than him and had already had breakfast in the living room.

  Speaking of which, Xiao Yao is also taking care of Tim. Not only did he wake up in the morning and didn't run out to exercise early, even the breakfast was ordered to the hotel to deliver food to the room, staying in the room honestly and not going out, it also allowed Tim to sleep for a while.

   "Morning, I ordered breakfast, let's eat together." Xiao Yao smiled and said hello when Tim came out.

After the FBI's profile analysis of the three robbers, they are violent crimes, and the trick of poisoning does not fit their behavioral pattern, so Tim’s protection work does not include food inspection, Xiao Yao You don’t need Tim’s approval to eat.

"Okay," Tim sat down in front of Xiao Yao, grabbed a piece of toast, took a bite, and asked Xiao Yao as he ate, "What are your travel plans today?" Since Xiao Yao refused protective imprisonment, Obviously, he will not stay in the hotel honestly.

   "I'm going to be a street performer on the side of the road outside Chambers Conservatory of Music today." Xiao Yao smiled, "You can look at me from a suitable distance, but I don't want you to stand by my side."

  "This is no problem, as long as you are within my sight." Tim nodded, and then asked curiously, "Don't tell me that you came to the United States to be a street performer. What are you going to perform?"

   "Of course I play the guitar," Xiao Yao smiled and pointed to the guitar he bought back overnight. "Why do you think I bought it back so late last night?"

"Man," Tim shook his head and looked at Xiao Yao. "Although I don't know much about music, I also know that Chambers Conservatory is a world-class music school and has cultivated many world-class instrumental masters. You run On the side of the road outside Chambers Conservatory of Music playing guitar as a street performer? It’s like a uniformed patrolman running outside the FBI headquarters building and bragging about how he can solve the case. Are you crazy?"

   "Why not?" Xiao Yao smiled and shrugged, "I am not illegal to do this. And, don't you think it would be cool to do that?"
